Does anyone know what size die / threads to use for threading a MAK 90?
I understand i can just use calipers or sizing rings (currently have neither, looking to save a few bucks) but I was thinking maybe someone around here might have the answer already. |

No one will have the answer until you measure with calipers as not all have the same diameter as some had the barrel turned down. You will either use a 14x1 Left hand metric die (M14X1LH Die for 0.551" to 0.571" o.d. barrels) or a die made to thread an AR barrel (1/2-28RH) in right hand threads.

Understood. Im not so much worried about it being historically accurate or correct. Ive kicked around the idea of completely "debanning" it but i dont want to spend the time or the cash. Mainly want the option of throwing on a muzzle device. I'm in the same situation as you and have asked some questions down in the Chinese sub-forum. I'm having the issue now of looking for a front sight base with a plunger, or info on how to do it myself. |

Quoted: I was wondering this myself. Ive read a few old debanning threads where people have drilled the hole for the detent. I have also read it may be possible to use a crush washer. Can anyone verify? crush washer will work just fine. you'll need to get a 14mm specific one (assuming you thread 14x1LH) or open up a 1/2" one to get a good fit. |

I dont think it would be hard to drill it yourself When I find the time and patience I am going to order the plunger and spring and drill mine out I'm not planning on even removing the FSB i should only need to drift the front pin out |
